Thanks to Crispinus, I just found out that Jonathan Miller is going to be at Skidmore next month. Whoo hoo! He's like a rock star of British comedy, theatre and performance. I remember being riveted to the tv every time he was on Dick Cavett back in the 70s and 80s. Of course, the fact that he was one of the stars of Beyond the Fringe has no effect on me whatsoever (gaah, goggle, drool!).Maybe they'll get Alan Bennett next year (well, a gal can dream). Here's the schedule (the first event might not be open to the public, but I'll be in SF anyway):
